    render tailgate for manual operation on 2010 535i wagon

    hello: my tailgate motors have died and I cannot afford $4k to have them replaced at the dealership. What can be done to make the tailgate work better manually? it it so hard for me to raise and lower without the power assist. My son has a service station and can try what you suggest..... thank you for any help you can give.

    There is a thread on the tailgate issues and in that thread someone installed regular gas struts. I think he gave the part numbers.
